A DCF starts from trailing free cash flow, so it can overstate value if the last 12 months were unusually strong (or weak). Use the bear case or edit the starting cash flow if so.

Reverse DCFfor context, not a signal

Not meaningful for regional banks: for banks, insurers and lenders, cash moving through loans and deposits swamps "free cash flow". Book value and earnings are better guides.

Your value per share–

Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital spending, trailing 12 months (TTM to 2020-09-30). Growth default: average of 3-year revenue CAGR and latest revenue growth, capped at 30%. Years 6–10 fade linearly to terminal growth. Discount rate = 4.25% risk-free assumption + beta 0.97 × 5% equity premium, kept within 7–13%. Bear: lower growth, +1 pt discount, 2% terminal. Bull: higher growth, −1 pt, 3%.
